Heh. Brown hasn't played, so if all Langhi was going to do was sit on the bench, that probably would have been okay. It's the idea of him being on the floor that bothers me.

I know how much you dislike Langhi, but don't you think he could do more than Casey Jacobsen has done? CJ has looked absolutely awful so far in his limited minutes in this series.

I think that Dan Langhi could do exactly so much as Casey Jacobsen did.
Nothing.

Casey has played a total of 14 minutes in this series, has gone 0-4, and has 1 steal and 2 fouls.

Ouch.

In comparison, Tom Gugliotta has played 10 minutes in the series, is 2-4 for 5 points, with 2 rebounds and 2 fouls.

Double ouch. Even though he's better than Casey.

And even further, Jake Tsakalidis has a big "o-fer" in 4 games. Argh! :mad:

Casey looks completely out of control out there.

I was shocked they didn't can the offensive foul when he had his arm extended the other day.

I still think once he adjusts he will be a good NBA player. For his development it would be nice to get him some playoff experience but it is hard to play a rookie when we are trying to win a series.

I would rather see Randy Brown on the floor if we need a backup guard for a few minutes. I would love to see him get in Parker's face a little. The problem is nobody respects Brown's outside shot.

Not that any of us expect either of them to make one.


The problem is we don't have enough small players for Frank. When you are trying to play all the good guards at once it makes it impossible to get a solid rotation.

Sure, now that we know Jacobsen has done nothing, Langhi couldn't have been much worse. But based on information acquired through the regular season, I think the coaching staff was correct in assuming that Jacobsen was more likely to make a positive contribution.

Heh!

I dont see the Suns winning tonight.

Somehow Ive the feeling to see a blowout Spurs victory.

91-73 San Antonio.

Hope to be wrong but dont think so. :(

Has there been a foul on San Antonio yet???

This game is going to be tough to win with corrupt officials.

I agree. Shooting like shyt but only down 6. Thats a positive. Imagine if we got a call? We could be almost tied.

The Suns are playing to aggressively on the perimeter. They are allowing the Spurs perimeter players to go right by them.

It's too early to start complaining about officials.

23-13...I have a bad feeling about this.

This reminds me too much of game 3. If Phoenix doesnt get within 4 by the half then they will lose. Simple.

It's never too early. That call was BS.

And they've been plenty already.

We're down because we're not executing our offense and not playing smart D.

Suns just have to start making their shots.

How many missed from <2 feet?


They are digging their own grave. So far the Suns have not responded well to start the big games (3 & 5).

Oh, man. I need to vent.

Marbury needs to SACK UP! I'm sick of seeing him play soft. And, I'm sick of seeing his game go down when his shot aren't falling.

Play a little D, and you may get untracked with a few layups and free throws.

No Marbury=No win. Period.

P.S. If your elbow hurts... sit.

We're getting no breaks. Thats basket plus 1 for penny!

I agree with Al, we have to keep attacking. Eventually the shots are going to drop and the officials will be forced to blow their whistle.

they are killing us inside!

The Suns are playing terrible.

But, the fix is in.

These refs stink. Especially the skinny black guy.
